California Museum of Photography presents series of works from artists Joyce Campbell, Anne Noble, and Connie Samaras. He exhibitions will run from October 13, 2007 to January 06, 2008.
ANTARCTICA brings together three extraordinary series of works from artists Joyce Campbell, Anne Noble, and Connie Samaras on the subject of Antarctica, the most extreme continent on the planet.
Recipients of distinguished artist residencies—Campbell and Noble awarded the New Zealand Artists to Antarctica program and Samaras the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Artists and Writers Program—enabled them to photograph and experience first hand the severe and almost inhuman conditions of Antarctica.
Each artist’s work approaches the subject with differing yet overlapping critical frameworks creating a rich trans-cultural dialogue that seeks to de-exoticize a landscape that has been romanticized, idealized, and made epic. -- www.cmp.ucr.edu
